Al Hinkle
Al Hinkle
Al Hinkle was a childhood friend of Beat Generation icon Neal Cassady who was the inspiration for the character of Ed Dunkle in Jack Kerouac’s On the Road. In December 1948 Hinkle contributed $100 to the down payment on the 1949 Hudson automobile that Cassady drove across the United States, the journey memorialized in Kerouac’s novel. He was also the real life inspiration for characters in two other Kerouac books: Slim Buckle in Visions of Cody and Ed Buckle in Book of Dreams.
